One of the original pictures by Nils Strindberg (1897), after being retouched, and which was published in Andrée’s Story: From the diaries and Journals of S. A. Andrée, Nils Strindberg, and K. Frænkel, found on White Island in the Summer of 1930 and edited by the Swedish Society for Antrophology and Geography, Nova Iorque, Blue Ribbon Books, c. 1930.

After the fall of Andrée’s balloon, a few hundred kilometers and a few days after departure, the three men walked adrift on the ice of the Arctic, eventually succumbing in just over three months. Their bodies, as well as the expedition’s remains, including the photographic films in which Strindberg, the expedition photographer, registered the adventures of the small group, would only be found 33 years later, in 1930.
